I am organising a conference for the University of Nottingham's Institute for Medieval Research on Belief and Time in the Middle Ages. Details available here [pdf].
I hope to write a book on romance in fifteenth-century England, and someday produce an online database of medieval manuscripts. I also have funding applications in the process for a symposium at the University of Nottingham on manuscript digitisation. Contact me here if you'd like to discuss this more.
